Dear Mrs.Dylan Loren!!!



To women of the great country it is devoted.


Your eyes it is boundless are deep in them there is a love, flowers, passion, joy.

As waters of ocean and spring water they are pure , cool and foggy.

You given birth from three elements: water, a wind, fire.

You will be washed with ocean, the wind will drain your fine hair, and fire will drive away from you malicious spirits.

Eternally young and beautiful destiny yours my goddess.

I pray for you.



You the-sun the daughter, you have broken darkness,
One thousand times being born miracle from miracles.
I in images of the suffering world
For you I search under firmament heavens.


Poets are not born casually

They fly on the ground from height

Their life is surrounded with a deep secret

Though they are open and simple.

Eyes of such divine poets

Are always sad and true to dream........................

And in chaos of problems of them oppress eternally shine that

To the worlds that have lost the way in darkness ................

****************************************************
I love you, very much I like

I raise to the god of a hand: (Tibet)

Can be, you - a Mirage of dreams,

The god my, kind and wise, I ask.

I love you, very much I like

****************************************************

I speak you the goddess

Lips, eyes, habits to begin.

I look, a mouth having opened,

Though for a long time it is time to embrace you

****************************************************

Let your dreams will come true,

Let your heart does not grow old,

And each day yours let will warm

Friends of a smile and flowers.

**********************************************************
The pleasure of love a small instant dreams.

To mountain of love the whole century lasts.

************************************************************
Eyes your fine diamonds

In them all world huge is reflected

Light of stars far, shine of the moon,

To me to one in them places has not got.

**************************************************************

You hear, sensitive mine,

Through silence of night hours

Muffled voice in darkness,

Imperceptible distant call?

Verses are again composed,

I again send love@love@love@ in a poem.

Newborn words have woken energy of love and have escaped in emptiness.

******************************************************************

Life - not a holiday, not commemoration,

Not paper a picture,

Not sand and not a rock,

Not curve mirrors.

There are in it holidays, commemoration

And such, the sister, a picture!

There is a sand and there is a rock,

And curve mirrors.

********************************************************

Hello, i was watching a couple of new records being set at the Olympics today, so thought i would look up some slightly stranger ones instead of some jokes.

Here's a couple;

Most spoons balanced on the face
Tim Johnston (USA) (b. 1 January 1992), was able to balance on his face (one on each ear, two on each cheek, three on his chin, two on his lips, one on his nose and three on his forehead) and balance them for 30 seconds at on May 28, 2004.


British pub landlord Garry Turner clipped 153 ordinary wooden clothes pegs on his face at the WH Smith bookshop in York, Yorkshire, UK, on September 28, 2002

Hello Lauren,
I hope that everything is still going pretty well for you. I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to post on your guest book, I've been pretty ill lately, nothing I can't handle. The only thing I'm dealing with now is the fluid that has settled on my right lung. I'm not going to lie it's pretty painful, but all you kids help me to forget about most the pain. It gives me something else to focus on. Well sweetie I'm sending you a great big (((HUG))) from Leavenworth and I hope that you continue to do well. Most of all remember to keep moving FORWARD...

Hi Lauren
I came across your site today and looked through ALL your pics - I havn't read through your history yet but I just have to tell you how amazing you are (yes, I know... probably not a cool thing to post but the truth must be told!)

I can't begin to imagine how hard it must be dealing with your illness but in every photo your eyes sparkle and I can really see the inner angel rebel! Its amazing how a life force can transmit over this weird thing we call the web (and I'm not talking about my tangled web!)

I have an inoperable brain tumor which is dormant for now ::knock painfully on wood::. It gave me a kick in the pants to reassess my life and priorities. Going through this has made me find people like you who are true inspirations - not because of your disabilities but for who you are, how you've dealt with them, and your essence.

Carry on with your bad self!

Hi'ya Lauren....

WOW! It's been too long since I've made an appearance! Sorry. I work some crazy hours, but I know, it's no excuse. If I have time to check my email, then I have time to stop in, even if for a quick hello!!!

At any rate, I have not forgotten you. I lay in my bed every night, listening to Conan as I fall asleep! Ok, Ok,sometimes he really grabs my attention and I actually watch him!! lol..........

I hope that things are going good for you and that with your anitbiotics, you kicked that cold's butt!!!!!

Have a great weekend!!!!!!!

Hey Lauren! I just realized that I never said thanks for coming to my site and checking it out and signing my guestbook! I do appreciate it! :) I was just checking in to see how you are doing. I hope all is well with you - since I don't see a new update, I will go with no news is good news! :) That's what I like to think. You know that reminds me of when I was little, I used to watch some show on PBS, it had a roller coaster and something about donuts - but that's all I really remember. Except for the fact that they had a news report on it every day - and the newscaster was a Gnu (they were puppets). And every day he would say "No gnus is good gnus" So that little saying always makes me think of that show! :) Yeah yeah yeah - I need to get out more!! :) Peace out and *warm hugs*

Hey Merky!! I want to let you know that you're right. God DOES know what He's doing and He knows what you are going through. Most importantly, He loves you very much.He wouldn't allow any of us to go through what we are going through unless He knew we could take it. All that your illlness tells me is that you are one TOUGH yet sweet cookie!!:) Anytime you get bummed out and feel like you wanna smack, kick, or terribly disfigure somethin' remember that Jesus knows what suffering is too. He was beaten, whipped, and hung upon a cross one of the most horrible ways of torture. He suffered way worse than any of us , and he did it just for you!! If that ain't love I don'
t know what is. He loves u and so do I.
Love, Jerky
P.S. May the peace of God be with you always.

This is my first visit to your page and I promise I'll be back! I so enjoyed reading your entry. You are just a hoot. Your parents must be so proud of you. You are such a strong girl. To still have such a great outlook on life after all you have been and continue to go through. So many people can learn so much from you. I can't begin to tell you how much I admire your courage and faith. You know God is there right beside you and he always will be. I will remember you and your family in my prayers.
I'm sending a great BIG cyber HUG!

I'm with Eva on this terminology thing. Shoot---even The Weather Channel threw out this last night...."It's going to be 'exponentially colder'." Is that like cold to the Nth degree? Must be a Kansas thingy.

Oh well---the sun will be rising soon, and I'll be heading of to bed in a while. Sorta need to do that when you work nights. Have a great rest of the week!

Peace and Happy New Year. Your precious Aunt Susie, my dear friend, told me about your amazing update/entry. The grace you write and share with always touches me -- I guess in the heart-- that's what it feels like anyway....

Last Sunday at Mass the readings were about Jesus' Baptism and being led by Spirit--thinking differently than we do ordinarily as humans. Thank you for being and example of a Spirit led life. You and all of your loved ones are in our family prayers each day. Love to you from Houston, Texas.

You are the coolest, funniest, sweetest, prettiest, most darling and special niece ever.

How's it going?? I hope that all is well with you, and that you are staying nice and toasty warm!
We are having Blizzard 2004, or so the TV says. There was no school today, due to the weather. But I live out on country roads, so naturally, they are the last ones to see a plow!! Shoot, I can't even find my driveway today, for all of the snow!! The farmer came through on a tractor/plow, but ya just can't see that he made any difference, and it's snowing like crazy again, to boot!!

So, yesterday, I was cruising the adopt-a-kid site, and ran across your friend Spencer's link. I stopped in and said hello to him! He seems like a pretty cool guy! I think I'll check in on him once in a while too!

I saw that a while back, you popped in on my friend Diane's page.(www.caringbridge.org/ks/dianekeel) That's too cool of you. Thanks! She loves getting new visitors! Isn't she what you'd call a "homie", since she lives in Kansas too? lol..bear with me, my daughter is trying to help me understand what all of these "slang" words mean? lol

Take care sweetie...I'll be back!!!

Hey Cus,
Its been a long time since I've seen you or even heard from you and your family but thats mostly my fault. Since the last time we met at Texas Land and Cattle Company a lot has changed in both our lives. Michelle and I are still happily married and our daughter is almost three years old. My time in the Navy is coming to an end and soon I will be a civilian again, but probabbly doing the same thing as I do now but with freedom. Enough about my family, I want you to know we love you and think the world of you. After reading all the things that you have written on your web page and seeing just the way you put it together...I'm just proud to have you as my cousin. You are an inspiration to me. Keep up the good fight, you are winning!

Man, i think I found my older daughter's twin. You guys sound soooo very much alike. I can't wait until she comes home so I can share your site with her. Anyway, I was surfing around visiting a few of our friend's sites, jumped over to somebody elses, then to somebody elses, and WAH LA, here I am. Anyway, I've added your site to the favorites so we can come back often. You now have one more caringbridge family in your corner praying for you. Noticed that you haven't updated in awhile, so pray that everything is ok. You have a wonderful day tomorrow, and even if it isn't have a better one the next day. I'll be back.

God Bless

Hi Lauren,

Yanno, it's been forever since I've been here!! I'm so sorry. I do like to try to keep up with everyone, but sheesh, sometimes it's hard. I still keep you in my little prayer at night though.
I've been working 2 jobs now, and just don't have the time to breathe much, let alone do much of anything else.

At any rate, I just read where you had to have some surgery. I hope that everything went alright and that you were able to be home for Christmas.

I think about you a lot, when I'm watching TV at night. That's how I unwind after all of those long days. Anyhow...when Conan comes on, I say to myself (quietly, so no one thinks I'm nuts).."I wonder if Lauren is awake and watching". Kind of a dumb question, huh? lol

Well chickie, have a good weekend, I promise I'll stop in much more often than I have!

Sending love and ((((HUGS))))

Hi Lauren! I had the pleasure of meeting your Mother today while enjoying a Holiday lunch with her and several other of Mary Jo's friends. She told us your story and provided us with a copy of the People magazine article - very impressive stuff! I'm proud of you! Impressive web site, too Lauren!

I will be in touch with you and your Mom soon so that we can meet. Meanwhile, keep up the great work - God has blessed me by sending your Mother and you as new friends. Here is one of my favorite quotes for you - Helen Keller said it; "We could never learn to be brave if there were only joy in the world."

E-mail me if you would like to. Meanwhile, best wishes to you and your family - Love and Hugs -

I'm kind of Adams friend. His aunt Debbie went to the same dance that Imy mother went to and she started talking about her nephew, Adam, while my mother went on about me. The aunt gave my mother his mothers e-mail adress to give to me so that I could get his e-mail adress. He e-mailed me and gave me his web site and thats as far as I am with Adam. I think that it is pretty neat that there is a web site that does this for people.
I also must say that I am not a lesbian or anything, but when the picture of you appeared on the screen, I was very impressed!!You look like a very nice young lady; other wise saying I think that you look pretty! If you every want to know what is wrong with me or how old I am, I am 21 and I have Epilepsy. That's about it!Bye!

Hey Lauren!

Sorry thst I've been slacking and haven't signed in, in a while. But as you've been slacking with your updating I think we're even. Sorry to hear that you are pacling a "heavy load", I've been there and OUCH! I've had to go into hospital before because of it, don't worry I'm going to stop there before I share too much information about consistency and texture :p But is there such a thing as too much information when it comes to poop?

Not much happening over here, I'm just busy with Christmas card making and covering everything in a 10 mile radius with glue. It's just so gosh darn sticky!

I looked in to joining starbright, but as I turn 19 in just over 6 months there really isn't any point *sniffle* so my plans for stalking you have been scuppered. Oh well I will have to start plotting a new way of getting to you Mwahahahahaha!

Ahem *regains composure* talk to you soon

I hope your feeling better! Praying this week is easier on you!! We are doing good. Lindsey has been sick off and on with one virus or another but seems to be doing ok this weekend. She will be immuncompromised for a year so I guess that means she'll get every bug in school. She is enjoying kindergarten and the kids have been really nice. I think the visit I had with them made a difference. I hope you have a fun time with school stuff!

Amy’s Fight

Amy Mareck
- Friday, October 3, 2003 4:32 PM CDT
My daughter Pam has a brain tumor and has been fighting the fight since November 4th, 2002, after the birth of her daughter (Casey Morgan). My youngest daughter, Karen, set up a caringbridge website for Pam. Karen's friends mother shared a prayer with us, that I would like to share with you. It's called DON'T QUIT:
Don't Quit -
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit - Rest if you must, but do not quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup. And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.(Just call on Jesus).

Prayers have scientifically been proven to work.

REMEMBER NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT. You are in our prayers. GOD bless you all.

Hey Lauren! Hope you are feeling better, I know you are half asleep at this time while reading this, but if you come over on SBW all out of sorts and groggy don't act to strange. Ha Ha! I know that's what Annastesia does to me when I'm just coming out of surgery like that. Well, get back to sleep and I'll talk to you later, and see ya on SBW.

Hey Lauren,
Sorry your having all the problems with the tube still! Hopefully the surgery will be quick and will resolve all the issues. We surrvived Isabel but lost power for 5.5 days.....whew thats long enough. We lost lost of tree limbs and have lots of debris but were fortunate enough not to have any serious damage. Lindsey is feeling awesome! Hopefully they'll go back to school tomorrow! Take care and we'll check in for the surgery update.

ps. Ask your Mom if I can have some of those "roids"

Ok so you make Cassie worry when you don't update your journal and Cassie makes me worry when she doesn't update her journal...what can we interrupt from this chain of worrying? You ladies are so wonderful how you get all these guestbook entries and besides dealing with your own lives you take time to update journals and read your guestbooks. We will continue to worry but know that we care very much about you!

Just think about this for a minute: Cassie is in England, you are in Kansis City, MO and I'm in Tampa, FL...that's one big worrying triangle!

Hey little baby Dawg, it's your Mama Dawg! Just wanted to tell you that I love my little Homie baby. Who would have thought my little Gerber baby born 18 years ago would become a Rapper/Dawg/Homie??? I'm so proud! Seriously, you can be anything you want to be and I would still love you. Well, except some of those women on those really bad HBO movies...if you know what I mean...

Oh, and you do have the prettiest eyes, smile, hair, face and HEART in all the world!

I love you all the way up to God, my baby.

Your Mommy baby

Hi Lauren,
Hope all is well. It sounds like you had a good time with your friends. Lindsey is settling in to school and seems to be adjusting. She is officially off treatment! We are supposed to get her "deported" (hehe...not to a foreign country)on Friday but that will probably be canceled due to inclement weather. I think our weather guys are estatic Isabel is headed this way!! We'll see! Take care and we'll be calling you soon.

Hey Lauren! I just had a chance to look at your site and it is sooo good! I went to W. Palm Beach, FL for the summer, got a job there and have decided to stay for awhile. I'll have to send you some sea shells and sand! Collecting them is my favoite thing to do on Sunday afternoons at the beach. It's been tough being so far from home (15 hours) but I talk to my Mom EVERY day and right now I am here for a visit. I haven't been home since the end of May, so it was time to take a break to see my parents, Terra & her boys (they are my angels - I miss Slayden, my oldest nephew more than anyone!). I wish I could come visit - maybe I can sometime over the next year. Morgan is so grown up! I expected you to be, but she was a shock! I hear she's quite the basketball star. Glad to hear that you're recent infection wasn't serious and to just judge by your writing, you're doing great! I'm taking my computer back with me to West Palm, but will keep this e-mail set-up and can check it remotely. I'll be getting a new address in FL and will let you know when I do. In the meantime, use this address and e-mail me when you get a chance! I want to know all about the "People" article everyone was talking about and Happy Belated Birthday! Give your folks and Morgan my love! Let's talk soon! Love, Lyns

ps. Lindsey asked if she could call you? I don't know what prompted it.....but if you feel up to it...email me your # to the address on LIndsey's site. Sometimes she just gets these ideas....

I hope that you had a really great birthday. I remember when you were knee high to a grasshopper and now you are all growed up! I'm glad that you had a great time with the starbright people, I'm looking into joining starbright. Watch out or I'm goinna to start stalking you :p

I had written out a much longer note for you but for some reason my computer decided to eat it or something! ANYWAY...know that I'll be thinking of you, wishing you the very best and keeping you in my prayers.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!!

Love and Hugs from...

Lauren,
WHAT! How I did I miss your Birthday! :( Happy Belated!
I can try to use some excuses...sick kid....baby....10 year old girl!! I was so glad to read you had a fun visit with your friends. I can totally understand that they only know what your going thru..even my adult friends can't relate to how it is to have a sick child. That's why I feel so normal at clinic now! Anyhow...please please let me know if your story is in People. I definetly want to grab that issue!!!! I hope and pray your tube issue resolves it's self!!

I love visiting your site.....everytime I read your journal I laugh and smile! Thanks !
ps thanks for listing Lindsey on your site!!

Love Lisa and Lindsey <www.caringbridge.org/va/lindsey>

Hi Lauren! What a fun birthday gift you have coming tomorrow when your friends arrive! I wish I could meet them too. Write and tell me all about them. I know they are so special though because they already love you so much and they haven't even met you in person yet. Although, it is easy to love you, anyone can see that! Anyway, have fun and take lots and lots of pictures sweet Lauren! I love you so much...

Aloha Lauren, stopping by to wish you the happiest of Birthdays! Any special plans? please remember to fill us all in on your big days events. Hope you are feeling well and maybe you need to teach that new nurse of yours how do do the dressing changes:) I am sure you are much more of an expert than most of us nurses:) At least she is good at accessing your port, I think I would prefer that over a nice looking dressing anyday!
Well, again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!1

We're leaving for a quick trip tomorrow while the kids are at camp and I wasn't sure if I'd get the chance to talk to you on your actual birthday, so I'm writing to wish you a happy early birthday!! You know I love you girlie and am sending you hugs and kisses and birthday wishes from afar. You're the best niece anyone could ask for! Love you so much...!

Hi Lauren,
Thanks for visiting Shannon's Web page and leaving her an entry. She is an inspiration to all of us and we have been so blessed by all the prayers and support we have received from so many people. Shannon is very busy right now, we spent all day yesterday moving her in to her new apartment as she is getting ready to go back to classes at NC State!! It seems hard to believe that she is doing so well and at this point after all that she has been through. I have read all your guestbook entries and journal entries and looked at all your photos. It looks like you have been having a really rough time but it also looks like you have a wonderful family to support you. I am sorry that you have to go through what you are experiencing. Just remember that there are wonderful doctors and nurses that are finding new cures for all types of diseases every day and hopefully yours will be coming soon. Just a few years ago doctors did not have the skills to deal with the problems that Shannon has and now she is doing well. Keep the faith!! We will all be praying for you and thanks again for writing Shannon. I know she will answer you back after things calm down a bit. Take Care!!

HI Lauren..........

Stopping by to say hello! I hope you are having a pretty good day!!
I thought about you during the night last night. We had some pretty rough storms, so we slept with our TV on, just in case the emergency alert system went off.....well.......one lightning and thunder were so bad.....real loud....woke us up! And who was on my TV?? Your Conan!!! I just kinda smiled and said to myself(no...I don't normally talk to myself).."I wonder if Lauren is up watching this?"!! Then I had to lay there and laugh at his warped sense of humor...he had that face thing, the interview....with Michael Jackson......I wonder who's mouth he was using! It was kinda funny!!

Well...I must run........Have a great day!!!

Hello beautiful child (young lady). My name is Carroll and I feel honored to be signing your guest book. Your precious Aunt Susie is a dear friend of mine. Your cousin Melissa and my daughter Alice Carroll are great friends as well.... Susie has shared with us your amazing journey. Your courage, strength and faith are an inspiration -- to say the least. You are the kind of person that helps other people at least try to raise their personal "bars". Thank you. Your photo album is awesome and the poem you wrote incredible. You are in our family prayers each and every single day. God bless and keep you. I hope to meet you in person sometime. Love and prayers, Carroll

Hey Lauren,
We hope your tummy is feeling better! Lindsey loved your rose...she absolutely loves flowers. There are none safe in my yard. :) or anyone else's for that matter.
I think the best present she ever got in the hospital was a huge bouqet of silk flowers they were gourgeous. They lasted about 2 minutes....then the scissors were out and she tore that bouqet up...She made so many crafts with them it was amazing. She's the only 5 year old kid I know that watches HGTV and the cooking shows!

Well I'd better go..we are praying all goes well with the treatment and as for the clog...uggh! Did you stick the kitchen sink down there? hehe....

ok lame joke...
Do you know what happened to the Indian Chief that drank tea all day?

He died in his Tea-pee

Oh, that cracks me up everytime....:)

Hey Lauren,
Sorry that amongst all the other things you also have an earache.It must be going around. Lindsey had one last week and so did our other cb friend Jacob. LIndsey is doing pretty well. She's been having some leg pain that I'm kinda keeping an eye on. I don't know if it from being a little more active or what. I pray thats it. When she first got sick she had alot of leg pain and it is one of the signs/symptoms of Leukemia. I guess I'll always be scared about relaspe etc. We only have 2 more rounds of chemo and I guess I'm nervous how her body will do without it. Weird huh? First I was nervous about her getting it now I'm nervous about it ending. Our hospital is building a new hem-onc clinic and I keep trying to get them to put in a Tiki Lounge for the parents. :) There not buying it. I told them I'll just settle for a pepto bismal bar then. hehe. I was reading thru some of you journal..you know you ought to think about publishing some of your poetry if you haven't already. WEll I guess I've bent your ear enough. Hope I haven't given your other ear an ache. :)
Talk to ya soon!

ps. Has the Emerson quote always been there or is it new! I may have to steal the idea from you and post it on Lindsey's page! I love it. I'm still trying to come up with a cool catch phrase...I'm just not as hip as I used to be :)

Hi Lauren
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to stop by again - I had a bad kidney infection and I've been off line for about a month, but I'm back now. I'll be emailing you when yahoo is back up as it isn't working (at least not for me) right now. I'm glad the surgery went ok and they found out what was wrong. I hope your wound heals soon so you don't have to use the nitrate for much longer.

Lots of love

Lauren,

How are you? Sorry for not writing in a looooooong time. I know I should never be too busy to write, but I have been all over the place lately. Me and my roommates have recently moved and I am in the process of helping my parents move now. I wasn't a big fan of moving before, but now I really dispise it. I didn't realize how much junk I had collected over the years. My Mom is even worse. I don't think she's thrown anything away in 20 years!
Enough with me though; I hope you are doing great! I miss talking to you and hanging out. Hopefully you have conquered the world of video games without me. I'm sure you did. It still amazes me how you figure out those games so fast. I'm always two steps behind. I have watched your Yankees a few times and they are impressive. On the other hand my Mets are about as pitiful as it gets.

Take care! And watchout for the "FRO"

I have been very sad today, one of my other Caring Bridge kids passed over yesterday, and my beloved cocker spaniel Lacey passed over this morning. My heart is heavy, and it did me a world of good to come visit your site. Thank you sweet girl, you are a ray of sunshine! Take care, I'll check back real soon.

Wow! I find myself crying softly in the computer lab at school in response to your wonderful webpage. You are inspiring, truly!!!! Here I sit, often feeling sorry for myself, or limited, because of my HCP, and in contrast there you are, sending out love and smiles, courage and happiness. Thank you for reminding me of the reason I feel so compelled on my happy days to share my smile,joy and appreciation of life with others. I think you are fantastic. Thank you so much Lauren.

I met your father in 2000 when Mike Manners (now Judge Manners) and I tried a case against him. He is truly a good person who loves you dearly. Although I've not had the pleasure of meeting you, having viewed your web page and having heard about you from your father, I can tell that you are a determined, caring, and loving person. I love the poem that is on your website--you obviously have talent, too!! May God bless you and your family.

Hey Lauren, Whats Up? This is Brad, and it was good seeing you the other night. It was fun to talk to you, especially since I hadn't seen you in such a long time. I think everyone really enjoyed getting to see you, it was a nice touch to the reunion for me, because I know I and others haven't seen you as often as we all would like to. Well, I'll be coming to visit again, so keep checking your email. Later

Lauren,

I hope all is well. It's so nice to get an email from you! Most of the emails I get are work related, so when I get messages from friends it brightens the day. How about those J-Hawks! I bet you are excited. One more and they will be CHAMPIONS. I only have one concern. My sisters attend KU in Lawerence and I am in fear of their safety. I don't know if you saw the rioting in Columbus, Ohio when the Ohio State Buckeyes won the college football championship in January. It was unbelievable! Cars were turned over, fires were started in buildings, just an array of unnecessary violence. Why some people feel like causing trouble in result of a job well done is beyond me. I'm hoping my sisters will be safe. Hopefully the possible celebration will be a calm one.
How about the cold weather coming back? That must give you a smile! After last week I thought we wouldn't see tempertures below 65 until September.
Sorry about the other day when you called. I usually have time to chat, but that was one of those unfortnate times when I had to run. Tracy Baker has been out of the office on vacation and I have been doing a lot of catching up on other parts of my job that I usually don't have time for.

gotta run, take care

Hi Lauren,
I just "met" you and your mom and Morgan on the phone today! My husband, Dan, and I are going to Florida with your parents tomorrow to the American College of Trial Lawyers meeting. Your dad is being inducted as a new member of the college ---- congrats to him! I look forward to meeting your parents "in person" tomorrow and hope to meet you and Morgan in the near future. I loved your poem. It is especially meaningful now as we seem to be going to war to hopefully liberate those suffering in Iraq. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers while we're in Florida, and after we return as well. You and Morgan take care and have fun!

Lauren,
You are such an inspiration! I'm Terry Drotar's sister and I have known your mother for a very long time. Girl can I tell you some stories about her! I have a fifteen year old daughter and she loves to get scoop on me in my younger days! I, like your Aunt Gayle have RA. I am blessed that mine is not in the advanced stage as Gayle's. I do know pain and deal with it everyday. I also know that what I endure daily is no comparision to the disease that you have. You will be my ispiration when I think I am having a bad day to realize that I have nothing to complain about. Thank you for sharing your story. If you want to know some juicy scoop on your mom let me know!

Dear Lauren,
I can't believe I'm just now signing your guest book and I'm your Mom! I guess because we see each other 24/7 and we talk about everything this little mode of communication has gotten past me. Yes, Morgan and I are leaving for Memphis this morning and I wish more than I can say how much I wish you were going with us. Some day!!!!

I know I tell you this all the time but I wanted to say it again. I am so very proud of you. You are so strong, so compassionate, so loving and so very funny. There is no one in this world I'd rather be with than you. Of course, and your sister and your Dad but you know what I mean. Seriously, your are my child but I truly like, no love, who you are as a person. God blessed me when He sent you to me and I will always be thankful. Just know you are always in my heart whether I'm here at home or the grocery or at one of Morgan's basketball games or at the office or in Memphis or asleep or anywhere... I never have you out of my mind and my heart.

Thank you for being mine and for being who you are.

I love you all the way up to God,

Mom
